Chapter 1446: Great to Have You (6)
He bore her words in mind.
He stood up to grab her mobile phone, only to discover that it was switched off. Lu Jingrao turned on her mobile phone and dialed his own number. He then hung up after his mobile phone rang.
As soon as the call ended, her mobile phone began to ring again.
“Mother-in-law” was written on the caller display.
He handed her the mobile phone and said, “Your mother-in-law called you.”
Still in a daze, Mu Qixing picked up and murmured, “Hello…”
Mrs. Luo said, “Qixing, come home immediately.”
“Mother, I… I… I’ll go home tomorrow morning instead.”
“Have you been drinking? Where?” Mrs. Luo asked.
“At my maiden home. I’ll go back tomorrow morning.”
She then ended the call, after which her body swayed to the side. Lu Jingrao hurriedly held her to stop her from falling, only to discover that she had fallen asleep.
He had no choice but to bring her inside his car.
Instead of sending her back to the Mu or Luo family home, he took her back to his own home instead.
It was a place where they used to cohabit.
Due to the fact that they had cohabited for a long time, he was well aware of her temper and habits.
Whenever she got drunk, she would mostly just stay still and fall asleep. She wouldn’t drink any water either.
Lu Jingrao switched on the air conditioner after placing her onto the bed.
He was drenched in sweat from head to toe because the weather was simply too warm.
He came out of the shower to discover that she was acting out of the ordinary. She had begun tossing and turning around in the bed, appearing extremely energized.
He walked toward the bed and asked, “Have you sobered up already?”
Mu Qixing sat up straight and looked at him with her hair all messy and unkempt.
“What… what are you doing in my house?”
“This is my house.”
“Bullshit!” She stood up and stared at him from above. “This is obviously my house. Hurry and leave, my husband will be home soon.”
Lu Jingrao was both amused yet peeved to hear her calling another man her husband.
“Do you still love me?”
“I love you. I only left because you didn’t want me anymore,” Mu Qixing said, placing her hands by her sides.
“How can I not want you?” He extended his arm toward her and said, “Come here.”
She leaned forward and grabbed his hand. “Go home. Luo Hang will be back very soon. Although I’m not afraid of him, it won’t be good if my parents-in-law are alarmed.”
“He won’t be coming back. He has gone out on a rendezvous with his girlfriend. Your in-laws aren’t here either. We’re all by ourselves,” said Lu Jingrao, who was playing along.
“All by ourselves… you still have to go home.”
Mu Qixing let go of him and sat on the bed. “Luo Hang may be willing to let his girlfriend be the third party, but I’m not willing to let you be the same as her.”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t want you to be treated unfairly and because I know that you don’t deserve that.”
Mu Qixing stared at him with her eyes glassed over. He pinned her down and asked, “Have you ever slept with him?”
“Would you believe me if I said that I didn’t?”
“Yes.”
She held his gaze and answered, “I didn’t. His mother went to extremes to get us to consummate our marriage. Not only did she ground him, she even brewed him some tonic soup tonight and spiked it with some aphrodisiacs. Coincidentally, his girlfriend had also sneaked into our room without his mother’s knowledge. The two of them drank the soup and began getting intimate with each other right in front of me. I decided to leave the house and inform his mother about what they had done. I reckon his parents must be infuriated now…”
Unable to resist his urges, he looked down and kissed her on her lips. Shaking her head profusely, she said, “Go home, go back to your own home.”
Lu Jingrao grabbed her wrists and raised them above her head before kissing her brazenly again. He was a far cry from the prim and proper dentist he was by day.
He had been missing her dearly all this while.
Although he wanted to get intimate with her, he decided to let her off after seeing how resistant she was.
She constantly pushed him away because she did not want to be just like Luo Hang.
Hence, he did nothing except hug her to sleep that night.

Fan Shixin’s mother called him over at seven o’clock in the morning.
He arrived home to see that there were a few strangers present as well.
One of them was a young woman who seemed to be in her late twenties. She was dressed in an immaculate and presentable outfit.
“Son, you’re home. This is one of the girls whom I’ve selected for you out of all the matchmaking candidates. I especially invited her home to let you have a look at her.”
Fan Shixin frowned instinctively. Since there were outsiders around, it would be inappropriate for him to voice his objections. Hence, he decided to abide by his mother’s instructions and have a chat with the woman in private.
The woman was not at all shy and she greeted him naturally with ease. “I know who you are. I signed up for a matchmaking session with you previously but I wasn’t shortlisted. What a pity.”
“Is that so? There were too many candidates,” Fan Shixin said calmly.
“My name is Yang Qianxue and I’m a year younger than you are.”
She’s thirty?
Fan Shixin nodded and said, “Seems like I don’t have to introduce myself, then. You already know my name and age.”
“You must be shocked to see me here all of a sudden, aren’t you? Auntie said that you definitely wouldn’t want to meet me if we were to inform you beforehand.”
Fan Shixin expressed assent and said, “My mother is right. I don’t have plans to get married at the moment.”
He had declined her tactfully.
In the past, Yang Qianxue would have left without another word. However, she decided to suppress her anger this time. Smiling wryly, she asked, “I think I’m a pretty good catch myself. Mr. Fan, would you be willing to give me a chance?”
“I’m sorry, but my heart already belongs to someone else.”
Yang Qianxue said bluntly, “Are you referring to Ms. Mu Wansheng? It’s said online that you sent a helicopter to rescue her from the traffic accident back then and you even dived into the lake. There are also rumors about you getting together with Mu Wansheng after breaking up with her cousin. Is that true?”
“There’s no need for me to answer those questions of yours. I think we should put an end to this conversation.”
Staring at him while he left, Yang Qianxue was filled with disgruntlement. She had no choice but to exit the room as well.
Both hers and Fan Shixin’s parents were waiting in the living room. They knew that it was a gone case the moment the two had left the room after just a few minutes.
Before he could even say anything, Mrs. Fan said, “I think Qianxue is a really great girl. She’s pretty and sensible. It would be wonderful if she could be my daughter-in-law.”
Knowing what his mother was thinking, Fan Shixin glanced at her and said coldly, “I have something to attend to. I have to get going.”
He then turned around and left without another word.
Just as he was about to arrive in Wei Ni Estate, Fan Shixin received a call from his mother.
